"Receipt of the resolution was quickly acknowledged by ICANN President Stuart Lynn, so it appears as if the resolution got their attention."
If people recall, Stuart Lynn said in Stockholm that
he asked Mike Roberts how to prepare for an
ICANN meeting. Stuart said that Mike told him that
he needs to make sure he has one good controversial
topic tossed out before the meeting to get people
interested in attending.
Could it be that ICANN has baited the Names
Council and they have foolishly taken the bait ?

No, that was the old ICANN, which was seeking legitimacy. The new ICANN has discovered that achieving legitimacy means letting lots of people play in its sandbox. It has decided that it doesn't want members or public participation, so it uses agenda items like "security" NOT to attract the attention of the public and draw people to its meetings, but to discourage them from attending and to keep harlmessly occupied those who persist in showing up. It will be much happier when all its meetings are outside the USA, as they will be next year, because fewer troublemakers will be able to show up.
